Alan Alda: Reigniting The Public's Love of Science

Alan Alda became a household name playing a doctor on TV, but it's his real-life love of science that might be his biggest legacy.

The seven-time Emmy-winning actor who starred on “M.A.S.H.” for over a decade, and in a number of other popular movies, plays, and TV shows since (including “The West Wing” and “The Aviator”), has been something of a glamorous scientific spokesperson for two decades.
